Description

Clueful for Android is a FREE product that shows you how installed apps use, and possibly abuse, your personal information and treat your PRIVACY.

You'd be surprised how many things an app can learn about you. Without you ever knowing it.

Clueful is like your own personal “Privacy Consultant” giving you detailed info as to what your installed apps are doing in the background without your knowledge. It checks your apps against Bitdefender’s constantly updated Cloud database, calculates your device’s “Privacy Score”, and then informs you as to which apps are sacrificing your privacy.

Benefit from Clueful’s extended database of verified apps. Curious to find out more about an app? Look for it using Clueful’s newest Search feature. Now you are able to check whether an app does more than it says in the background before installing it. If we’ve already scanned the app we will display a list of clues from the Cloud allowing you to make informed decisions when it comes to the apps you’re downloading.

Did you know that apps can:

- Leak your phone number, e-mail address, contacts from address book to aggressive ad networks or third-parties- Play audio ads while you’re on the phone - Spam you in the notification bar, even if not accessed - Send your password unencrypted over the Internet, a password that can be easily intercepted - Upload your calendar- Read your browsing history, which contains sensitive data- Read and send SMS with or without your permission, thus incurring charges to your bill- Intercept SMS - Make phone calls with or without asking for your permission - Monitor your phone calls- Upload your device ID. (This unique ID can be used by developers, advertisers and analytics tools to track your location or behaviour across more than one app)- Track your location and share it with third-parties- Access your photos

…and many more. Really know your apps with Clueful!

THE INDUSTRY’S MOST DETAILED ANALYSIS OF APPSClueful doesn’t only display a list of permissions requested by apps upon install, it goes even further by showing you what apps REALLY do behind your back: leaking your phone number, spamming your notification bar, playing audio ads while on the phone, sending your password unencrypted over the Internet, or even send text messages without asking for your permission!

IMMEDIATELY INFORMS YOU OF ABUSIVE APPS Bitdefender Clueful monitors apps that you install from the Google Play Store and immediately tells you if they’re not respecting your privacy.

PROVIDES AN INDIVIDUALIZED PRIVACY SCOREBitdefender Clueful examines the apps on your smartphone and calculates a precise and personal overview of how vulnerable you are, so that you can evaluate and take appropriate actions for each installed app.

Generally helpful But doesn't give individual recommendations, just tells you if an app might be low, medium, or high risk. Clueful should not flag a weather app because it wants to know your location, but it should give a red alert if a flashlight app wants access to your contacts and accounts; Clueful does neither of these. It just gives a generic warning in each case.

Bad now I'd thefts it self Missing some threat I've download games that read phone I'd can follow you in all apps like browser can get your credit card and debit numbers still your money but better than nothing unlike other apps like it ask for private information this app don't they have privacy policy on web site download ya hear for now safe

Everything is a threat Frist it is a helpful tool to identify potential risks. Hoever it seems to pick up everyone and it's mother as a threat. The app checks programs permissions data to identify security holes. However certain apps that are identified as threats are from reputable competitors. I'm not sure if the program is comparing the actual data in live situations or only taking the permissions for face value. Again the tool is helpful however when you install a security app you should know it's there.

MY JURY'S OUT. SO FAR, A KEEPER. Very useful as *one factor* in judging an app's overall security, providing food for thought. BUT I also find it alarmist and hyper-vigilant... to the point of creating paranoia. For me, it'll stay on as a security tool to be used with caution, not the be all and end all. (Why is it suspicious for a weather app to ask for permission to access location? Or for a photo editor to access photos/media/files? How else can they function?) Erring on the side of caution is not a bad thing though. Well done overall.

Empowers Clueful is great! It has helped me find and uninstall two privacy violating apps (neither time was the app an offender you would expect), and keeps me informed about all other privacy issues with apps (thanks to its multi-level system to show how great a threat to privacy any given app presents). It's only flaw is that Clueful does not seem to show privacy threats it itself poses.

Hello. Clueful only tells you whether an app is a threat in terms of you private info. The apps are monitored in real time, relying on the Bitdefender Cloud updated info. If a certain app is a risk, Clueful notifies you.

Remedy is worse than the ailment So in the process of protecting our privacy, the app collects information that may even be used in a court of law? What kind of privacy protection is that? How many people really read the agreement before starting to use the app, willingly putting the Big Brother in their pockets? Uninstalling!

Potential to be useful Currently, it appears to not have information on any apps, as such it has flagging certain system apps and known legitimate apps as Medium Risk. As it stands right now, its of no use to nin-advanced users.

Frustrated Not having the option to list the apps in alphabetical order makes it like an easter egg hunt when trying to look through apps. So I tried the search and instead of searching through my apps, it goes to the cloud and listed scores of apps I don't even have. I finally gave up on this frustrating search for the specific app and looked everywhere for the simple option of listing apps in alphabetical order and never found that option. The interface really deserves zero stars for this bizarre oversight.

Hello! Clueful is designed to warn you against potential harmful apps for your personal info (meaning apps that have access to most of your personal data) and leaves the user to decide whether they want to still use it or not.

Request It would be nice if there was a way to tell Cluefull to egnor an app in its scoring. Most if not all Internet security and anti-virus apps are in the Red. So it would be a nice addition to your app to alow a user to select apps to egnor.

Great app, no ads. This is a great app that is fully functional and free. It automatically scans the apps when they are installed and gives you a report. It reported that Trustgo antivirus and CleanMaster apps upload Unique Device ID to third parties, which all other privacy apps had missed to report.

Doesn't examine all apps I reviewed the list of apps on my tablet versus the list of apps analyzed by Clueful and found that, for example, it doesn't look at (Google) Hangouts or Chrome. Not "not analyzed", I mean not even listed or acknowledged as an installed app. It makes me uneasy wondering what else is flying under Clueful's radar. Developer asked for examples... I gave you 2 guys. Meanwhile it thinks Lookout is a danger. Hah.

Hello! The data used by Bitdefender Clueful is continuously updated as hundreds of apps appear daily. For this reason, the app requires Internet connection to function in the background. However, please send an email to cluefulandroid@bitdefender.com with some examples of outdated information in the database, or some suggestions.

Generally helpful Immediately provides privacy rating upon app install or app update (great). This has led me to uninstall some apps that were uploading my device ID and other personal info to various ad networks, without my consent.

Good Tells you what you should already know if you read the permissions when you download an app. I wish it would take into account app ops settings, because I am blocking 90% of the issues claimed by this app

XPrivacy can prevent applications from leaking privacy sensitive data by restricting the categories of data an application can access. XPrivacy feeds applications fake data or no data at all. It can restrict several data categories, such as contacts or location. For example, if you restrict an application's access to contacts, that application will receive an empty contacts list. Similarly, restricting an application's access to your location will send a fake location to that application.

XPrivacy doesn't revoke or block permissions from an application, so most applications will continue to work as before and won't force close (crash).

Wi-Fi Privacy Police prevents your smartphone or tablet from leaking privacy sensitive information via Wi-Fi networks. It does this in two ways:

* It prevents your smartphone from sending out the names of Wi-Fi networks it wants to connect to over the air. This makes sure that other people in your surroundings can not see the networks you've connecte to, and the places you've visited.* If your smartphone encounters an unknown access point with a known name (for example, a malicious access point pretending to be your home network), it asks whether you trust this access point before connecting. This makes sure that other people are not able to steal your data.

Wi-Fi Privacy Police does not have any negative impact on your battery. In fact, you may see your battery life increase by using this app.

View our paper at https://doclib.uhasselt.be/dspace/handle/1942/17224 for more technical information.

Wi-Fi Privacy Police is an app developed at the Expertise Center for Digital Media, a research institute of UHasselt. It is open source, with its source code being publicly available at https://github.com/BramBonne/privacypolice .

A lot of effort went into making this app work flawlessly. If you, however, run into any problems when using this app, nor the app developers, nor the UHasselt take responsibility. You are encouraged to report any issues at uhasselt.edm.developer@gmail.com or via GitHub at https://github.com/BramBonne/privacypolice/issues/new ; we will try to fix them as soon as possible.

Note to those using CyanogenMod: make sure that Privacy Guard is not blocking access to Wi-Fi Privacy Police, as it will then not be able to see the available networks. This will cause Wi-Fi Privacy Police to disable access to all of them.

Are you getting bored of deleting messages and call records one by one? This app is ready to help! All the unwanted calls can be removed once!

Being able to delete them all doesn't mean you cannot delete one message or some of the messages. It's all up to you!

Although this app is small and may be impressive in your device, you will need it now or then. Just keep this little helper!

But what about all the other apps on your smartphone or tablet? What about your kids? Just watch this video of Miss Teen USA 2013, Cassidy Wolf, who was victimized because an online predator could watch her remotely through her webcam from an app she trusted: http://www.cbsnews.com/videos/miss-teen-usa-discusses-webcam-hack-at-cyber-security-expo/

Finding your keys, searching for something you lost, looking for the light switch in a hotel room? What a great utility, right? Wrong! The top 10 free flashlight apps in the Google Play store alone account for nearly 1/2 BILLION INSTALLATIONS appear to be spying on users with an application size ranging from of 1.2 to 5 megabytes.

In fact, an optimized flashlight application should only be ~100-150kB; ~10-50 times smaller than the smallest one of these top rated flashlight apps.

PROBLEMSo, why so big? The size is significant because there's a lot more code than necessary embedded in these applications which allows them to eavesdrop on you. Nothing in life is free. These flashlight apps do some very strange things – geolocate you, read your contacts list, read your device storage (probably looking for personal and sensitive pictures), read and write files, get your phone number and so much more that we would consider all of them well designed MALWARE. All of them!!!

It’s clear to us at SnoopWall that these applications are designed to expose your personal information to cybercriminals. In addition, you are at significant risk if you do Mobile Banking on the same device as one of these free Flashlight Apps. Our strong recommendation is to uninstall your flashlight app immediately.

SOLUTIONSnoopWall developed Privacy Flashlight for Google Android, Apple iOS and MS Windows smartphones and tablets. The file size of the SnoopWall Privacy Flashlight application is approximately 138 kilobytes. It only accesses the flash of the camera (requires the flashlight and camera/microphone permissions in Android) and the screen display, which is all a flashlight app should be doing anyway.

We've also developed another free application, Privacy App, which will scan your Android device and show you what apps are potentially spying on you. Have suspicions? Confirm them with Privacy App.

Earlier this week, independent developers identified a software package from Carrier IQ shipped within a number of Android-based mobile devices. This piece of software was apparently designed to provide metrics to help mobile carriers improve their services, but in some circumstances, the software is not optional and in many cases the users don't know it's there, tracking all interactions with their mobile phone.

Designed to help mobile carriers solve customer-support and infrastructure issues, the application has been discovered to systematically syphon out location data, keystrokes and other aspects of e-mail and SMS conversations.

As Bitdefender values users’ privacy and the right to informed consent, we have developed Bitdefender Carrier IQ, a low-footprint detector that can reveal the presence of the Carrier IQ package on the personal device and, if found, whether it has been enabled by the carrier.

The Bitdefender Carrier IQ finder is merely a diagnostic tool that prompts the user about the presence or absence of the Carrier IQ package. The package is deeply buried in the device firmware, so it can be uninstalled only through special privileges on the smartphone.

Please note that the Bitdefender Carrier IQ finder does not substitute for a mobile antivirus and consequently, will not detect malware. For a fully featured security solution, please install Bitdefender Mobile Security (available on Android Market).

USSD Wipe Stopper - by Bitdefender. Once installed, your device is safe from running unauthorized USSD commands even if your Android version is vulnerable

The operating system your smartphone is running may be vulnerable to USSD commands that could wipe your entire phone. Tapping on a link to a cleverly coded web page could order you phone to reset itself to factory settings and disintegrate all your private data with it.

Any Android phone running Phone.apk v 4.1 or lower is at risk and that's the broader base of them. Install Bitdefender's USSD Wipe Stopper to protect against such attacks. Now, once you would tap on a exploiting link, Bitdefender will intercept the wipe command and ask you to decide what to do next. You may, if unsure, dismiss the USSD command.
